Paris: Part 3

After I went on the Eiffel Tower, I went on a boat trip on the River Seine which lasted an hour and a half. It was so hot for the first half as we were on the side of the sun shining down on us until the boat turned around. The boat trip began at the Eiffel Tower then stopped at these places: Musee d'Orsay, St-Germain-des-Pres, Notre Dame, Jardin des Plantes, Hotel de Ville, Louvre and finally Champs-Elysees before returning back to the Eiffel Tower and starting its journey all over again. I really wanted to get off in Notre Dame as you could get off at each stop and then get back on the boat when it next came around but unfortunately we had to get back to the car so my dad could get on the roads before dark. He didn't fancy getting lost in Paris and in the dark!
